The Landlords and Tenants Act 1985 makes it any implied condition of any lease that the landlord maintain a property in good condition, and the law also imposes several legal obligations on landlords in the Defective Premises Act 1972, requiring landlords to exercise due diligence to ensure that tenants (their families and visitors) are protected from damage caused by a material defect. of which the owner should have known. Legal Surveyors UK can provide expert advice for plaintiffs and defendants, and our panel is often engaged as unique joint experts.

Local authorities, housing associations and other social landlords are required by law to obtain property that they rent to tenants to prevent deterioration of the dwelling. Alternatively, lawsuits may be filed by tenants who have the right to live in a safe and healthy environment. Before a tenant takes legal action against a landlord, the tenant`s legal counsel will usually ask the landlord to jointly appoint an appropriate expert to inspect the premises and prepare a defect report. The court rules encourage the parties to agree to appoint a single joint expert, such as a qualified appraiser like me, to report on the property. I can carry out an inspection of the property on behalf of the owner, tenant or both and identify problems, estimate the total cost of repair work and analyse defects that fall within the scope of the owner`s repair obligations, i.e. section 11 of the Landlords and Tenants Act 1985 and section 4 of the Defective Premises Act 1972.

Fact: An appraisal tells you the value of the property, but a survey can highlight issues with the property as well as many other important information. My detailed inspection determines the condition of a building, the immediate maintenance required and when future repairs are to be expected. My clients find my condition assessments to be a valuable investment, as they expect the maintenance of a building and the associated financial commitment, rather than a much more expensive reactive maintenance. This comprehensive inventory information also helps identify where the greatest risk of litigation or other actions lies, such as properties prone to moisture or excessive sound transmission that could affect tenants` health.
